Chapter 451: Chapter 120: Profits Exceeding ExpectationsA giant blue-black wolf ran through the wilderness.
Its body was slender, its limbs robust, its eyes flickered with the light of wisdom as it blinked. Its erect pointed ears revolved like a radar, collecting every faint sound carried in the wind.
Above the mountaintops at the end of the wilderness, several golden eagles circled.
From the far-off riverbank, a refreshing breeze came intermittently.
Even while the giant wolf ran, it often felt the presence of something prickling on its back.
The giant wolf knew these were the tactics of other hunting teamsâthe golden eagles, for example, were likely summoned by the schoolâs hunting team, the seekers. The rustling valley breeze was a
Crisp analysis emerged from the Speaker Flowers.
However, these analyses did not stir any ripples in Sepulanoâs loungeâeven Erwin Hoffmanâs action of rushing towards the phantom deer did not lighten the atmosphere in this room.
Although everyone was looking at the âEye of the Vortexâ outside the window, it was clear everyone was preoccupied.
They all pricked up their ears, listening quietly to every word that Sepulano and John Neville were saying.
"... As of now, the total betting amount of Alpha Academy is approximately 532 jade coins, an increase of 30% compared to the same period last year; the total betting amount of Jiuyou Academy is approximately 501 jade coins, an increase of 50% compared to the same period last year..."
"There are also Starry Sky Academy and Atlas Academy, whose total betting amounts are currently around one hundred jade coins. Compared with previous years, the growth rate is between 10%-15%, which is also very impressive."
"As for the off-campus data, it is still consolidated by Wandering Bar this year."
Speaking, Neville glanced back at the frame hanging behind the door.
The Wandering Wizard showed a polite smile: "Pleasure to work together!"
LÇèyÇnĂŠr, expressionless, turned his head and continued speaking: "Based on past experiences and the estimates of some divination magic, the total bet of the whole school hunting gathering inside and outside the school this year will exceed five thousand jade coins... according to a 40% profit margin calculation, we can make a profit of about two thousand jade coins."
Five thousand jade coins, this figure is equivalent to the wealth of some small wizard clans.
Even two thousand jade coins would be an astounding figure for most wizardsâeven that young master of the Taylor family, Andrew Taylor, who never lacked jade coins when he was growing up, had never personally encountered such a massive fortune in his life.
After a few seconds of silence in the lounge, an excited buzz broke out.
It was obvious that as the profits of the Auspicious Club soared, the benefits to each member would naturally increase. Nobody disliked the sweet sound of jade coins falling into their pockets.
But soon, as Sepulanoâs voice sounded, everyone else immediately shut up.
"So... based on your current data, the expected sales of betting tickets this year should be very optimistic." Sepulano, holding a panda milk candy in his hand, rubbed the pale blue wrapper delicately with his thick fingers, staring at the âEye of the Vortexâ outside the window, his tone quite calm.
He did not show any ecstasy or loss of composure due to the substantial increase in expected wealthâbeing unmoved even if the Mount Tai were to collapse is a necessary trait of a true Alpha.
This made the other young wizards in the Auspicious Club admire him even more.
"Yes." After Neville responded, he hesitated for a moment before adding, "As per your instructions, the betting for the Freshmenâs Hunting Contest has not officially started... However, just now, that scholarship student from Jiuyou Academy forcefully bought some tickets for the Freshmenâs Hunting Contest..."
"Zheng Qing?" Sepulanoâs eyebrows lifted slightly.
He took the notebook handed over by Neville, flipped through it casually, looking at the scattered betting amounts and betting items on it, his lips twisted, and he chuckled, "He still has three credits? Truly deserving of a scholarship student... Since he has already requested, we might as well not return the money. After all, itâs nothing more than a few credits, and it wonât make any difference."
Neville nodded slightly and continued:
"Although the growth rates of Starry Sky and Atlas Academies are much lower than the other two schools, this is normal... perhaps only these two schoolsâ data can accurately reflect the specific results of your reform of the schoolâs hunting betting business."
"It has to be admitted, your reform was highly successful."
A warm round of applause and cheers from many wizards echoed in the loungeâthese noisy sounds quickly died down with a gesture from the round-faced wizard.
Sepulano did not seem to be pleased by Nevilleâs compliment.
Furrowing his brows, his chubby face took on a thoughtful expression:
"According to you... the higher than expected growth rates of the other two schools is abnormal?"
Neville nodded, paused a moment, then explained:
"The significantly larger growth of Jiuyou Academy should be because they are the hosts of the schoolâs hunting gathering this year, so they were able to mobilize the enthusiasm of most of their students... Although the 50% figure seems a bit exaggerated, given that there are nobles in this ancient academy similar to Alpha, it is still within an acceptable range."
Having said that, Neville closed his notebook, his gaze sweeping over the other wizards in the room.
His blue-green eyes were calm like an ancient well, but filled with scrutinizing intent.
This sent a shiver down the spines of many people.
